Yeah, I would love to see that actually!! My Insteon based system is working pretty well and I do have a pretty nice sum of money wrapped up in it, between switches, filters, controllers, etc... but it does basically the same thing. I've got it powering on lamps, kitchen lights, CFLs, most of them ...

Not a bad start for day one!!!

Thanks, I'm getting there!! I just created an SVN repo for the project also... since trying to make backups and such has been making me crazy, you can see it at: https://code.google.com/p/eventghost-foscam-plugin/source/browse/trunk/SurveillanceCameras/__init__.py ...

I've been smashing my way through this one.... I've made a bunch of edits, not JUST adding myself to the authors line! :-P hahahaha

Basically they are as follows:

1) I commented out the self.finished.wait line since I wanted to see how QUICKLY I could capture images if one just comes streaming in ...

Provide me with a link to the type of cameras you are using, this is indeed interesting

Best, Walter


I'm well on my way into writing out the additional config lines, then from there it should be VERY easy to program out the extra functions. What I'd really like to be able to do is enter the ...

HELL YES!!! That's awesome, it's working already......

I was able to pull in the plugin, set it to the right info and run it while other things were happening...... Now what I'd like to do is start building in the options for more "config"

It's a hassle to have to know/update the CGI line ...

I will make a first version for you, it is not that hard for me, that you can extend with more features later.

Think about what data you would like to have configurable. I have to suggest:
- nbr_of_images (default 50)
- path_to_camera (default "http://xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq:ppp/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr ...

Basically, I would create a plugin for your 'Surveillance Cameras" and actions that can be defined & created for each camera. Each action you then define should start it's own thread when triggered (the thread will basically run your script code) and once done, terminate the thread.

Awesome, that ...

I've got a bunch of python scripts setup to control some PTZ foscam cameras.... it's all linked to my home automation systems.

So, when my ISY-994i detects motion when none of us are home, it automatically uses the CGI interface to the cameras to quickly move the camera and point it toward the area ...

BINGO!!!

This is working great, thanks!! I'm capturing all kinds of good stuff now!!

I'm working on integrating my phone systems, an asterisk based freepbx distribution and I can't seem to figure out how to capture variables sent to the webserver plugin.

I've got every phone call that comes in executing a web get to:
